Shapiro's rich and numerous writings on culture provide a powerful and important antidote to this approach, as shapiro consistently shows (across wide-ranging contexts) that politics is in culture and culture is in politics, and no politically salient approach to culture can afford to turn either term into a causal variableculturegabriel almond and sidney verb's () famous work on 'the civic culture'established a long-held but ultimately counterproductive relationship between culture and politics, one in which culture is an independent variable that has effects on politicsfrom his frequently-cited article on metaphor from the early s to recent work on discourse and globalization, shapiro has shown that politics happens not only with and through the use of language, but within discourse as a material practicethe editors have focused on work in three key areas:discourseshapiro was one of the first theorists to demonstrate convincingly, and in a manner that has had a long-standing impact on the field, that language is not epiphenomenal to politicsby reconceptualizing and reinterpreting this term, shapiro's work has helped us to rethink the very boundaries between political theory and international relations as putatively separate subfields of political scienceindeed, he shows that language is constitutive of politicsthis book draws from his vast output of articles, chapters and books to provide a thematic yet integrated account of his boundary-crossing innovations in political theory and masterly contributions to our understanding of methods in the social sciencesand it explains why both political theorists interested in international relations and international relations scholars concerned with a broader understanding of international politics must both start with shapiro's work as required readingsamuel huntington's () (in)famous polemic, 'the clash of civilizations', only pushes this relationship to its breaking pointsee oxfam website for delivery information read moreoxfam bookshop wallingford michael jshapiro's writings have been innovatory with respect to the phenomena he has taken to be political, and the concomitant array of methods that he has brilliantly masteredviolencewhile violence is surely not a theme foreign to political studies, no one has done more or better work in contemporary political theory to bring violence into play as a central term of political thought and to expand our understanding of violence

Liberal democracy appears in crisisdrawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, it moves the question from 'why' liberal democracy has taken a punitive turn to the 'how' and the 'what': to how citizens experience democracy in the first place and what grassroots understandings of politics and care they bring to their encounters with the statestarting with dominant theories that have seen these developments as indicative of a rise in 'penal populism' or 'popular authoritarianism', personalizing the state revisits one of the central paradoxes of our times: the illiberal turn that liberal democracy has takenthese popular forms of engagement reflect, in turn, a longer history of state control exercised against working-class peopleotherwise clean textthis book goes to where much of the commentary has stopped short: to the lived experiences of citizens who inhabit some of britain's most stigmatized urban neighborhoods, namely its council estates that were once built to house the working classesfrom the rise of 'law and order' and ever tougher forms of means-testing under 'austerity politics' to the outcome of britain's referendum on leaving the eu, commentators have rushed to explain the current conjuncturepersonalizing the state challenges dominant narratives of exceptionalism that have portrayed the people as a threat to the democratic orderit reveals the murky, sometimes contradictory desires for a personalized state that cannot easily be collapsed with popular support for authoritarian interventionsabove all, the book exposes the state's disavowal of its political and moral responsibilities at a time when mechanisms for collectivizing redistributive demands have been silencedoxfam bookshop leeds 274ppsee oxfam website for delivery information read morea little stain on a few pages, a little tear at the back of dj
